Housing allowance cuts to force students to move, delay graduations
ALMOST a third of students living alone in the capital region are considering moving into a more affordable flat due to cuts in the general housing allowance, a new survey has revealed according to Helsingin Sanomat.
Conducted for the Foundation for Student Housing in the Helsinki Region (HOAS) by Vastakaiku, the survey found that most students would prefer to cut back on other costs and increase working hours rather than re-consider their housing situation due to the cuts.
